Diffusion Barriers/Adhesion Promoters. Surface and Interfacial Studies of Copper and Copper-Aluminum Alloys
… between copper and the diffusion barrier/adhesion promoter. The behavior of copper sputter-deposited onto sputter-cleaned tantalum nitride is investigated. The data show that copper growth on tantalum nitride proceeds with the formation of 3-D islands, indicating poor adhesion …

Sequence distributions in free-radical polymers
… synthesizing polymers with relatively low cell adhesion characteristics, The initial part of this thesis is concerned with demonstrating the use of a computer simulation technique, in illustrating the sequence distribution that would be observed upon the polymerisation of a set of monomers. The …

The effect of sintering and CMAS on the stability of plasma-sprayed zirconia thermal barrier coatings
… CMAS plays in destabilizing TBCs. Finally, the adhesion characteristics of ingested volcanic ash were studied using a small jet engine. The effects of engine speed and particle size were investigated. Deposition on turbine surfaces was assessed using a borescope. Deposition mainly occurred on …

Nano-scale evaluation of moisture damage in asphalt
… in asphalt is related to asphalt chemistry and adhesion characteristics, which are below micron scale phenomena. To this end, asphalt chemistry and adhesion values are studied at nano-scale to understand moisture damage in this study. Nano-scale measurements are conducted using an Atomic Force …

Mechanical and surface free energy characterization of asphalt concrete for moisture damage detection
… tests. The surface free energy (SFE), direct adhesion test (DAT) and blister test (BT) represent the component-level types. Samples for the mixture-level tests were prepared at different aging and conditioning durations. Aging durations include one hour and four hours after mixing and prior to …
